Pregnant cat meowing and wandering around the house...?

My husband and I were outside earlier and a stray cat come up to me and let me pet her and pick her up. I felt, what I thought, were here nipples... but after she laid down and I was petting her, it turns out she is pregnant. We took her in - don't want anything to happen to her. I have done some research this afternoon and from my guess, I would say she's about 5-6 weeks pregnant. She was super skinny and it looks like she's been out on her own for a while, but she had a collar on (without a name tag or anything - it was just the collar). She was pretty much just laying on a blanket all afternoon, but not she is walking around the house and won't stop meowing.

Does anyone know what this means? We put a blanket in the bathtub and also one in a hamper to see which she would choose for when she does go into labor (I read that we should start familiarizing her with the spot to give birth) and she has been going into the bathroom and into the tub for about an hour. It's still pretty early for her to give birth, I think, because we can't feel the kittens moving in her tummy yet.

Does anyone know what the constant meowing and wandering through the house is? Is it just her getting used to us and our home?

Thanks. :)
